So I've been busily merging stuff, and just wanted to send out a quickreminder that I warned people in the 39 announcement that this mightbe a slightly shorter merge window than usual, so that I can avoidhaving to make the -rc1 release from Japan using my slow laptop (doing"allyesconfig" builds on that thing really isn't in the cards, and Ilike to do those to verify things - even if we've already had a fewcases where arch include differences made it less than effective infinding problems).

And judging by the merge window so far, that early close (probablySunday - I'll be on airplanes next Monday) looks rather likely. Ialready seem to have a fairly sizable portion of linux-next in mytree, and there haven't been any huge upsets.

So anybody who was planning a last-minute "please pull" - this is aheads-up. Don't do it, you might miss the window entirely.

Did I miss any major development mailing lists with stuff pending?

PS. The voices in my head also tell me that the numbers are gettingtoo big. I may just call the thing 2.8.0. And I almost guarantee thatthis PS is going to result in more discussion than the rest, but whenthe voices tell me to do things, I listen.
